below.

CALL FOR PAPERS
=================================================================
        IEEE NetSoft 2015 Workshops

    1st IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization
        April 13-17, 2015 - London, UK

        http://sites.ieee.org/netsoft/workshop/

    Workshop Paper Submission Deadline: January 31, 2015
=================================================================

NetSoft 2015 will be the first of a series of annual events established as
part of the IEEE Software-Defined Networks initiative of the IEEE Future
Directions Committee in order to build an IEEE-wide community in this area
across multiple IEEE societies and councils (http://sdn.ieee.org/about.html).
Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV),
and Software-Defined Clouds could be seen as different expressions of an
overall transformation trend, which is deeply impacting and Telecom and IT
industries. This trend is also transforming several other Industries, in
using "softwarization" to optimize costs and processes
and in bringing new values in infrastructures. In particular, SDN, NFV and
network programmability are creating the conditions to reinvent network and
cloud
architectures, accelerate service deployment and facilitate infrastructure
management.

NetSoft 2015 will feature 3 workshops, aiming at bringing together
researchers and practitioners to discuss issues, current state and future
trends in SDN and NFV related areas on manageability, security and 5G.

NetSoft 2015 workshops will be held on April 13 and April 17, 2015. All
workshops are currently accepting submissions of
original/position/work-in-progress/experience
papers at respective links as below. Submissions must be in IEEE 2-column
style with a length limitation of 6 pages (including title, abstract, all
figures, tables, and references). Submission instructions, important dates
and further details are available on the workshops websites as below.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the workshop proceedings
and submitted to IEEE Xplore.
